Hello,  I need to get Windows OS for two of my computers that had hard drives replaced.  I tried the partsfinder site already and no OS listed for either PC or laptop of mine

Hi:

 

You can reinstall W10 for free as follows...

 

With another working Windows PC, make a bootable USB W10 installation flash drive using the Media creation tool at the link below.

 

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

 

If you are asked to enter a product key during the installation process, select the 'I don't have a product key' option, and W10 will install and automatically activate once you are connected to the internet.
